TYRE INFLATION
Your AFISCOOTER S is equipped with pneumatic tyres. Check the tyre
pressure at least once a week. Proper inflation pressures will prolong the life
of your tyres and help ensure the smooth operation of your
AFISCOOTER S .
WARNING! It is critically important that the psi/bar/kPa air pressure indicated
on each tyre is maintained at all times. Do not under-inflate or over-inflate
your tyres. Under-inflation may result in loss of control, and over-inflation may burst the
tyre. Failure to maintain the indicated pressure rating at all times may result in tyre and/or
wheel failure.
WARNING! Inflate your scooter tyres from a regulated air source with an attached
pressure gauge
NOTE: If the tyres on your AFISCOOTER S are marked with a psi rating only, use the
following conversion formulas to find the bar or kPa rating:
Bar = psi x 0.06895
kPa = psi x 6.89476.
WEIGHT LIMITATIONS
Your scooter is rated for a maximum weight capacity. Refer to Appendix A
–
Specification Sheet for details.
MANDATORY! Stay within the specified weight capacity for your
AFISCOOTER S . Exceeding the weight capacity voids your warranty. We will
not be held responsible for injuries and/or property damage resulting from failure to
observe weight limitations.
WARNING! Do not carry passengers on your scooter. Carrying passengers on your
AFISCOOTER S may result in instability.
INCLINE INFORMATION
More and more buildings have ramps with specified degrees of inclination,
designed for easy and safe access. Some ramps may have turning
switchbacks (180-degree turns) that require you to have good cornering skills
on your
AFISCOOTER S
.

Proceed with extreme caution as you approach the downgrade of a ramp or incline.

Take wide turns with your AFISCOOTER S around any tight corners. If you do that,
the
scooter’s rear wheels will follow a wide arc. Do not cut the corner short, and do not
bump into or get hung up on any railing corners.

When driving down a ramp, keep the AFISCOOTER S
scooter’s speed adjustment
set to the slowest speed setting to ensure a safely controlled descent.

Avoid sudden stops and starts.
Figure A. Maximum Recommended Incline Angle
When driving up an incline, try to keep your
AFISCOOTER S moving. If you must stop,
start up again slowly, and then accelerate cautiously. When driving down an incline, set
the speed switch to MIN and drive forward only. If your
AFISCOOTER S starts to move
down the incline faster than you want, allow it to come to a complete stop by releasing the
